Exhibition Match: Northern Blues vs U18's

Jones playing as a Key Defender, and doing well. Who'd have thunk it....???

Gee, I called for this 2 years ago. Play him as a key defender I said. I got shot down on here by the unimaginative ones!  8)

Look, Liam Jones has some excellent tools in his kit bag - those being genuine power, pace, agility and a big leap. He has good size (height and body) and seemingly pretty good determination. Simply, cannot see why he has not been played as a Key defender at VFL level, then at AFL level. He is only 25 years old still for crying out loud! This year, he plays as Key Defender at VFL level and we at least get a good look at him in that role, before we cut him at seasons end. He aint going to make it at ADL level as a Key Forward IMO, so play him as a Key Defender. Nothing to lose.

IF, he does well as a key defender he'll be an asset as I think he's a very different type of 'tall' or KPP to those of Plowman, Weitering and Marchbank. More power and pace with Jones plus his spring.

Keep it up LJ. Exciting. Let's see how he goes each week now. KJ as a Key Defender makes sense too. Jones at FB and Jaksch at CHB.

Keep McKay, JGM and Kerr as the Key Forwards at VFL level for the time being.

No harm in giving this set up a go at VFL level I say!

I remember most people thinking this was a good idea. Started MM last year in defense but it didn't amount to much. I wouldn't get too excited about it.
